Holistic Moms, Unite!

Posted Nov 01 2010 12:00am

I know you’re out there…if you’re a Mom who cares about preserving her baby’s health and/or solving her children’s health issues with remedies straight out of Mother Nature’s medicine chest, then Holistic Mamas is for you.

I’m a fervent believer that we have veered too far away from our connections to herb lore and Mother Nature in western medicine’s quest for scientific evidence, repeatability, and consistency. Just because something has never been tested in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial does not mean it does not have healing value. Just because disciplines like Homeopathy, TCM, and herbalism have practitioners that treat each individual with customized protocols does not mean that these methods are madness. After all, each individual is unique….so why would everyone respond the same way to the same remedy?

I became passionate about this when I first received my Certification in Aromatherapy and my diploma in Master Herbalism. Getting educated in natural health topics opened my eyes to the wonderful pharmacy that God/the Universe/Mother Nature gave us, and I’ve been using this knowledge to heal myself and strengthen my immune system ever since. Now that I’m the proud (and sleepless) mom of a 3.5 month old baby girl, I am even more committed to using only naturally-based home remedies to keep her in robust health. And so far, it’s worked.

I look forward to sharing my experiences on this journey with you, and to hearing your own stories of healing success with nature’s medicine chest.
